eudoniga Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 :shock: Hello, mr. Dowson ! Believe it or not, you won't read anything about FSUIPC problems/solutions in this post, so take a breath and read the rest I am looking for some "famous FS voices", that's to say, I'd like to collect a vocal contribution from people that are renowned in the FS world, by offering them the chance of being "present" during a simulated flight in a different way than just writing a program, gauge, a panel, a scenery ... Here's what it is all about. I am actually the chief (= the only) developer of an airline flight simulation project called M.I.B. (Multi-lingual Inflight Briefings) which aim is to provide flight simulation lovers worldwide (or in Europe, at least) with a collection of sound (vocal) recordings that reproduce and imitate the real briefings, given the difficulties of recording such messages during real-life flights. It is a non-profit project, for it creates something which is public and available for free, by being included in the freeware download libraries of the most known flight simulation sites (http://www.flightsim.com, http://www.avsim.com, etc.). It requires that a set of Flight Attendant & First Officer typical briefings be recorded in computer digitized format (.wav), the one that Windows’ Sound Recorder commonly creates. I you agree, I will send you the Excel file with the language collection available so far. I’ve had contributions in: british english, american english, australian english, french, spanish, italian, dutch, swedish, german, swiss german, austrian german, and portuguese; last week I even got an email from Bangla Desh !!! The first available voice sets have been downloaded some 10,000 times so far; so it’s quite a good result for the time being, and I hope the number of downloads will grow even more. I hope the project will lead a growing number of people worldwide to simulate flights, with aircraft models, flight plans, destinations and schedules taken from everywhere ! Please notice that the required contribution is – after all - minimal: it normally takes 15 minutes to record the First Officer voice set. Looking forward to hear from You soon, and hopefully in a positive way ... Best Regards, Eugenio Remus, Italy :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Looking forward to hear from You soon, and hopefully in a positive way ... Thanks for the invitation, but I am declining. Sorry. I don't like the sound of my own voice and really would not like to inflict it upon anyone. It is bad enough having my picture up here -- I was persuaded to do that, against my better judgement! 8) (Which reminds me, I really should replace it -- I am two years older now, and look more!). Best of luck though, in finding "good" candidates! Regards, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eudoniga Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 :cry: Gosh, Peter, how can you be so 'rude' about yourself ? You just mentioned the photo, but I am grateful for it: thanks to it, that mr. "Peter Dowson" whose job "animates" my cockpit, is no longer a most famous, but most 'abstract' entityhe has got a smiling, sympathetic face !!! And the same would be for your voiceare you sure you don't wanna give the simmers the last word ? What can you be afraid of ? Crashing loudspeakers ? :D Please, mr. Dowson ... :wink: regards, Eugenio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
